...Ehsan Pourjavad; Eman Almehdawe Purpose This paper aims to address the technician routing and scheduling problem ( TRSP ), a daily operational challenge faced by telecommunication service providers. The study is motivated by a real-world application in Saskatchewan, Canada, and aims to develop...

... insufficient charging stations (CSs), long charging duration and tight freight delivery window for middle-mile electric trucks. Therefore, this paper aims to jointly optimize the scheduling of charging and platooning of electric trucks over the freight transportation network. Design/methodology/approach...

... team formation and scheduling of nurses using signed social relations. They propose a BIP model with variable neighborhood search. Hosseini and Akhavan (2017) studied a fuzzy multi-objective TFP that involved maximizing knowledge sharing while also optimizing project cost and workload balance...

.... Appointment window is used for appointment scheduling aiming to reduce the costs of patient waiting time, rejection and physician idle time. Appointment scheduling window indicates the maximum appointment-making schedule of the patient (Ahmadi-Javid et al., 2017). In this research, both of queuing...

...Levi Ribeiro de Abreu; Bruno de Athayde Prata Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a hybrid meta-heuristic based on genetic algorithms (GAs), simulated annealing, variable neighborhood descent and path relinking for solving the variant of the unrelated parallel machine scheduling...

...Ryma Zineb Badaoui; Mourad Boudhar; Mohammed Dahane Purpose This paper studies the preemptive scheduling problem of independent jobs on identical machines. The purpose of this paper is to minimize the makespan under the imposed constraints, namely, the ones that relate the transportation delays...

...Dheeraj Joshi; M.L. Mittal; Milind Kumar Sharma; Manish Kumar Purpose The purpose of this paper is to consider one of the recent and practical extensions of the resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) termed as the multi-skill resource-constrained project scheduling problem...

...Amir Hossein Hosseinian; Vahid Baradaran; Mahdi Bashiri Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose a new mixed-integer formulation for the time-dependent multi-skilled resource-constrained project scheduling problem (MSRCPSP/t) considering learning effect. The proposed model extends the basic...

...Mohammad Ali Beheshtinia; Amir Ghasemi; Moein Farokhnia Purpose This study aims to propose a new genetic algorithm for solving supply chain scheduling and routing problem in a multi-site manufacturing system. The main research question is: How is the production and transportation scheduled...

...Mehdi Abedi; Hany Seidgar; Hamed Fazlollahtabar Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a new mathematical model for the unrelated parallel machine scheduling problem with aging effects and multi-maintenance activities. Design/methodology/approach The authors assume that each machine...
